FOLIO OF WORK BRENDAN M WALKER

My ambition is to transcend modern constructs and immerse my-self in the investigation of newly reformed visual art climates that all can enjoy. Driven by an obsession of curiosity, the thoughts of modern constructs linger in my mind as fragmentary pieces of possible outcomes. The aim is to continue pushing and evolving my ideas, in an effort to achieve the most idyllic and beautiful results. I believe I offer an eclectic point of view and I hope to be a part of your visual art program so I can share my thoughts and further develop my talents to be a more mature and successful Artist in the years to come.

and to develop a language for an art walk along the coast line.

building enclosures. The wall also featured as a back drop for the Gold Coast Fashionably Conscious fashion
